COLUMBUS: LeBron James declined Urban Meyer’s first invitation more than 10 years ago. He was happy to accept Meyer’s second.

James watched Saturday’s Ohio State’s 31-24 victory against Wisconsin from the Buckeyes’ sideline Saturday night wearing a red OSU sweatshirt and a gray knit cap. He addressed the team prior to the game and also spoke briefly at the team’s pregame Skull Session in St. John Arena.

COLUMBUS: Team captain and free safety Christian Bryant suffered a broken ankle and will presumably miss the rest of the season. Urban Meyer announced the injury following Ohio State's 31-24 victory over Wisconsin and left the impression Bryant's season is over.

"That darn kid has done so much for our program, come so far," Meyer said. "Incredible leadership skills. And he's going to be even more valuable outside of football. I love that guy."

COLUMBUS: Up until Thursday, Urban Meyer wasn’t sure what he would do at quarterback. Speculation swirled throughout the week about the idea of playing both Braxton Miller and Kenny Guiton and no one was quite sure if Miller’s sprained left knee was ready for the pounding of the Big Ten.

On the final drive of the second quarter, everyone knew the answer. Including Miller, who admitted he was nervous how his knee would respond following a three-week layoff. So he stayed in the pocket for most of the half, delivering strikes to receivers across the field.

According to reports by Ben Axelrod of Buckeye Sports Bulletin and Land-Grant Holy Land, Ohio State will be wearing an alternate jersey on Saturday against Wisconsin.

For the first time, the Buckeyes will be wearing their red Nike Pro Combat uniform against the Badgers. A source told LGHL that Ohio State will wear its white Pro Combat uniform against Michigan this season. The red jerseys may get used in another game as well.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Kenny Guiton again starred in place of the injured Braxton Miller, setting a school record with six touchdown passes — all in the first half — to lead No. 4 Ohio State to a 76-0 victory against Florida A&M on Saturday.

COLUMBUS: Urban Meyer couldn't be happier that Carlos Hyde is returning to the field for No. 4 Ohio State — even though it might create some minor headaches when it comes to playing time.

Hyde missed the first three games when he was suspended after an alleged assault against a female at a Columbus bar this summer that did not lead to charges.

"I've got to make this clear: He is welcome back," Meyer said. "It's been a terrible three weeks for him. He's handled his business the right way. If he didn't handle his business the right way he wouldn't be playing in this game.

COLUMBUS: Ohio State coach Urban Meyer says that quarterback Braxton Miller, who has a sprained left knee, is listed as day-to-day and has yet to be cleared to play when the No. 4 Buckeyes play at California on Saturday.

Miller was hurt on Ohio State's first offensive possession of Saturday's 42-7 win against San Diego State when he was pinned between two defenders and fell backward to the turf.
